Sovereign Gear Dropping Last Night On Gorfang

I saw it with my own eyes.  I decided to play some scenarios for a few hours last night in Warhammer.  I don't even remember the guild now, but they dropped three pieces of Sovereign gear in one scenario.

I think it was my first time of ever seeing it drop off players except for on the PTS.  It was a good feeling.

The part I didn't understand was how Order was rolling over these guys.  It didn't look like an Order premade going against a Destruction premade.

I think it is pretty sad if you are RR80, and you can't even win scenarios.  I guess it just goes to show you that RR80 is nothing about skill, but the ability to RvDoor, and spend the most time in the game collecting renown.

Another scenario I saw quite a bit of Warlord gear dropping off of guys.  It looks like people are continuing to play their toons these days after hitting RR80 instead of rolling the credits, and starting a new toon.

I must of been lucky yesterday.  It seemed every scenario Order was dominating.  I saw some pretty good renown numbers on the scoreboard.  I guess more and more players are worth alot of renown these days.  I saw one guy get over 12k renown in one scenario.  That used to be unheard of.  Players used to be happy with a 3-5k renown gain in scenarios.

My luck started running out around Midnight, and I started getting in scenarios with sub 40's, and going against Arsenal.  That is a lose-lose situation.  Arsenal has so far been the most impressive Destruction guild I have run across.

Why Do The Credits Roll After Hitting Renown Rank 80 in WAR?

Is the game really over when you hit that milestone in Warhammer Online?   It isn't officially over, but it makes 99% of the game pointless after you do reach renown rank 80.

I know many players who stopped playing after they hit it because RvR became boring without any goals.

With renown being worthless it takes any motivation out of taking battle objectives, keeps, zones, and cities.  You only did it before for the renown, and now that is gone.

Many players that reached renown rank 80 just stopped playing immediately with that toon.  The thought of handing out Sovereign pieces in zerg battles just made alot of players cringe.  So most just shelved their toons, and played alts until IC reached the king kill.  They would than log them in just for that.

So it defeats the main purpose of high renown rank players dropping this gear, and is the #1 reason Warhammer Online needs to add something to keep players playing once they hit renown rank 80.

I think they need to make renown ranks higher, and change the gear requirements on the RvR sets to match the new higher ranks.

I also wrote about a Nemesis Influence being implemented into the game once you reach renown rank 80 that keeps players playing.

How do you think they could keep players who are renown rank 80 playing those characters instead of alts?
